PHILADELPHIA, April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Clincierge® will showcase the company's unique hospitality-driven services that support clinical trial recruitment and patient retention at World Orphan Drug Congress U.S.A 2016, being held in Washington, DC from April 20 - 22. Additionally, Clincierge® Chief Executive Officer Scott Gray will chair the first day of the Main Conference, April 21.
"Clinical trial sites for Orphan Drug studies are often widely dispersed, making multi-national trials and the necessity of patient travel a significant challenge for sponsors and CROs that can lead to slow recruitment and frequent patient drop-outs," says Scott Gray, chief executive officer of Clincierge®. "By providing patients with high-touch personalized support, regular one-on-one communication, upfront payments/rapid reimbursement, and expert logistical assistance for travel and accommodations, our services have had a dramatically positive effect on recruitment and retention for these complex trials."
Clincierge® will exhibit and be available for discussion at Booth #31 at the World Orphan Drug Congress.
